The Old Deanery

Minster Road, Ripon

Major refurbishments where completed in 2003, transforming this historic building into a contemporary fifty seat restaurant with eleven individually designed bedrooms and well equipped conference and banqueting facilities. Dating back to 1625 and located across from Ripon’s majestic cathedral, The Old Deanery is steeped in history. Built on the site of a former monastery of St Wilfred, Lewis Carroll spent a lengthy time here during the early 19th century. The interior of The Old Deanery has been completely revamped, accommodating a stylish new restaurant on the ground floor, serving, breakfast, morning coffee, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. Our award-winning chefs offer an eclectic range of delights, from speciality fish to locally inspired creations, and an extensive collection of cellar wines are available to complement your meal. Dinner is served every evening except Sunday. Ascending the 17th century oak staircase to the bedrooms, each of the eleven bedrooms have individual character, and come equipped with modern conveniences including broadband internet access points and digital television. All rooms are en-suite with splendid garden or cathedral views. The conference room is centrally located within the main hotel and comes complete with up to the minute equipment and office support services. With six well spaced internet, telecom and fax points, the facility comfortably caters for 22 people and can be arranged according to your needs.

Absolutely fantastic place - I would definitely recommend this hotel to any wishing to stay here. Unfortunately I was only in the hotel for a few hours due to late arrival and early start but I was made to feel very welcome, with the owners happy to go the extra mile to ensure I had a pleasant stay. Thank you!

I have stayed at the Old Deanery a number of times and have never been let down. Service is fantastic, the food and wine fabulous and the rooms and views beautiful.

Situation, food, service, friendly staff,lovely atmosphere- I couldn't fault any of this, but sadly the cheap mattress and low quality bedding made the 4 poster irrelevant, had to go out and buy feather pillows and cotton pillowcases to make the second night bearable. 100% cotton sheets, a top quality mattress, and non synthetic pillows would have made this stay perfect. Shame as in every other aspect this hotel is truly a gem.
